Could you clarify renting development??

I'm pretty certain the guy you are talking to is just referring to paying your employees.

Unity, development engines specific to the consoles etc. They no longer have to build from the ground up when a handful of companies rent out their well built engines that make development way cheaper. Less employees needed. Way less expensive employees needed.

Oh, I see.

You know what, I always thought Nintendo owned their own game engine.

I know developers can make cross-platform games with certain game engines. But I'm pretty naive, so I assumed for some reason that the console owners didn't, since they knew more about the hardware.

Of course, it started that way. But better tools have come out.

That's interesting. Thanks for sharing.

I am sure Nintendo makes their own, as do the other consoles because they get to license them out. But for most AAA game development? usually not anymore.
